Final Score: Washington Commanders 29, New York Giants 21 | Date: December 14, 2025 | Venue: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ | Week 15, 2025 NFL Regular Season
Marcus Mariota started in place of the injured Jayden Daniels, threw for 211 yards and a score, and Washington left East Rutherford with a 29-21 win over New York — ending the Commanders’ eight-game losing streak while the Giants absorbed their eighth consecutive defeat. Jaylin Lane’s 63-yard punt return and Jake Moody’s 3-for-3 afternoon on field goals built the lead; Jaxson Dart’s 246 yards and two touchdowns couldn’t overcome Younghoe Koo’s 0-for-2 performance and a fourth-quarter fumble that killed New York’s last real chance.
Von Miller’s sack was the 136.5th of his career, moving him past Jared Allen into 12th on the NFL all-time sack list.

New York outgained Washington 384-340 in total yards and converted two of four fourth-down attempts, but a 15-point second quarter from the Commanders — built on three scores in under 14 minutes of game time — left too large a hole. Abdul Carter and Tyler Nubin combined to force and recover a McNichols fumble at the New York 49-yard line with 2:38 remaining, but Dart’s fourth-and-8 pass intended for Robinson at the Washington 38 fell incomplete and closed out the Giants’ eighth consecutive loss. Washington moved to 4-10, New York to 2-12.

Claire R. Conant is the founder and editor of The Press Row. Born and raised in New York, she spent years covering professional sports across multiple leagues before launching this publication in April 2026, largely out of frustration with a sports media industry that had decided moving fast mattered more than being right. Her reporting covers the NFL, NBA, MLB, cricket, and international football, and every figure published under her byline is verified against official data before the piece moves. She started The Press Row because she believed readers who actually understood the game deserved a publication built to the same standard. That standard has not changed since day one, and it applies to every writer on staff.
